- Title
Food Allergies: Safe Food Handling to Prevent Triggering an Allergic Reaction.
- Authors
Byrd-Bredbenner, Carol; Maurer, Jaclyn
- Abstract
The prevalence of food allergies is on the rise, especially among children. Safe food handling is important for preventing triggering a food allergic reaction. Guidelines for safe food handling for food allergies are scarce; therefore, data from key-informant interviews with health professionals, food professionals, and the public were used to develop educational factsheets for food service and child caretakers. These factsheets can be used by Extension professionals for both self-education and outreach education on this increasingly important health topic.
